Method: Data were obtained from parents in a randomized controlled trial for children aged 6 to 12 (N = 117). Results: Significant increases on positive parenting and parents’ sense of competence, ...

ABSTRACT Background: Several studies have reported significant variations in sickness absence rates between comparable cohorts of employees, which by some authors have been attributed to sickness absence cultures. A sickness absence culture represents the shared absence-related norms and behaviors within a workgroup. Even when controlling for factors associated with sickness absence, there are still ...

Both male and female rats produce 50 kHz ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) in the presence of a sexual partner and during copulation. Previous studies showed that USVs have no incentive value for rats. In this study, we evaluated the role of USVs in behavior during copulation. Three groups of rats were used: sham males paired with sham females, devocalized females paired with sham males, and sham ...

Based on stimulus–response learning accounts, we argue that including situational cues in thought about intended actions is an important aspect of self-regulation success in general and in successfully implementing delayed intentions. Accordingly, in Study 1 (N = 328), we replicate a previous study and show a positive relationship between the self-reported inclusion of situational cues in thoughts ...

Denne studien undersøkte sjekking på internett blant homofile menn og lesbiske kvinner. Tidligere forskning viser at sjekkeatferd rettledes av ulike sett gruppespesifikke normer og rolleforventninger, kalt seksuelle skript. Det tradisjonelle interpersonlige heteroseksuelle skriptet er kulturelt betinget, og sterkt påvirket av kjønn og kjønnsroller. Hvordan ser det da ut når to personer av samme ...

<p>Objectives: Sleep disturbance is associated with persistence and exacerbation of chronic pain. As this relationship seems to be bidirectional, factors underpinning sleep disturbance may prove important in multimodal rehabilitation approaches. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the impact of psychological symptoms on subjective and objective sleep measures in patients with chronic ...

Epidemiological studies assessing adult sleep duration have yielded inconsistent findings and there are still large variations in estimation of insomnia prevalence according to the most recent diagnostic criteria. Our objective was to describe sleep patterns in a large population of middle‐aged and older adults, by employing accurate measures of both sleep duration and insomnia. Data stem from the ...

Research has shown that social identity threat can have a broad variety of negative consequences. However, not much is known about the consequences of social identity threat on interpersonal relationships. In the present research, we hypothesize that experiencing social identity threat decreases people’s social approach motivation toward other people related to the stereotyped domain. Specifically, ...

Frafall på universitetet representerer en rekke sosiale og sosioøkonomisk utfordringer. En gruppe som er mer utsatt for å droppe ut fra universitetene i Norge, er innvandrerstudenter. Denne gruppen er preget av høyere frafall enn sine norske medstudenter, samtidig som forskning viser at denne gruppen er utsatt for negative stereotypier i akademia. Den høye frafallstatistikken kan delvis forklares ...
